The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 496

After packing up the next day, Ping'er took the girls to visit various places in Bukui, getting familiar with the streets, buildings, customs and customs here.

At first, the girls were apprehensive about showing their faces in public, but after persuasion by Ping'er and others, they dispelled their concerns.

Shen Bingyi, Gu Panpan, and Yizhihua naturally came to accompany her.

After the interaction last night, the girls are already familiar with the three of them.I have heard about the details of several people before.

Especially Yizhihua, who bragged about her experience as a bandit last night when she was drinking, which stunned the girls.

As for what Baochai, Miaoyu, Daiyu, and Qingwen did in Bukui, Ping'er did not hide from them.He even talked about the dancing of a few people.

In addition to being surprised, the girls also felt that they were really insignificant when they appeared in public.

In fact, Lameihua also stayed in Jia's mansion for a while before, and she talked to the girls about the customs here and even Wendula.In the psychology of the girls, they are actually prepared.

After sightseeing in the street, we arrived at the bank of Shuiwanzi River.

In Bukui, there was a tradition of having a picnic by the river, so we had a picnic here at noon.

Veterans from several government regiments reported themselves to be brave enough to catch fish, and Shen Bingyi and Gu Panpan prepared food and wine utensils.

Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, and Wang Shanbao, along with some servants, guarded the surrounding area in case strangers bumped into the girls.

Now that the weather is warm and the water is not cold, the girls and maidservants go into the water one after another to play in the shallow water.

After playing in the water for a while, Xiren walked to the bank and sat next to Ping'er.

"Oh, I just didn't expect that in this lifetime, I would meet you here."

The aggressive tone was a little emotional.

"It's said that we don't meet each other anywhere in life. It's probably us. I didn't expect it. I originally wanted to wait until I return to the mansion in the future to meet you again. How is Sister Yuanyang now?"

In Jia's mansion, Yuanyang, Ping'er, Xiren and Yuan are the most outstanding maidservants.The relationship between several people is also good.

Not only is she beautiful, popular, and smart, but she is also deeply liked by the master.

Others such as Qingwen, Siqi, Jin Chuaner, Suyun, Baozhu, Yinger, etc., although they are also relatively good, but compared with these three, they are still a level behind.

Only Xiangling, who entered the mansion later, can barely compare with these three.

Of course, this is also related to the masters of the few people back then.

Yuanyang's ancestor's personal secret, Baoyu is the favorite in the mansion, Wang Xifeng has real power in the mansion, and now Ping'er is with Jia Min, so the status is naturally different.

These few people, even the master, should look up to them.

"Sister Yuanyang is fine, but it turned out that the Eldest Master once wanted to take Yuanyang's idea and wanted to accept Yuanyang, but was reprimanded by the ancestors later, so he gave up."

"Oh, this old man, it's not that I'm talking about my master behind my back, and my actions are indeed a bit ridiculous. Wouldn't it be a waste for Yuanyang to follow him?"

"That's exactly the case. Later, the old ancestors set up a rule. After a hundred years, she will redeem her body for Yuanyang. In the future, Yuanyang will decide whether to go or stay. The marriage of Yuanyang will be decided by Fourth Master Min. Don't let other masters wrong Yuanyang."

"The old ancestor is really good to mandarin ducks."

"Yes, Yuanyang is taken care of by the ancestors, and you are taken care of by Fourth Master Min. I envy you both."

"Didn't Second Master Bao treat you very well? I think Second Master Bao is quite different from the past when he comes back. He behaves in a well-regulated manner, neither humble nor overbearing, and has a somewhat calm demeanor. He will never see the absurd Meng Lang in the past. gone."

"That's true. Since he came back from here last time, he has changed. It's like two people in the past. He doesn't go out to mess around every day, and he doesn't need to be supervised when he reads, and he doesn't talk to his sister and sister all day long. It seems that I have learned it."

"Thank goodness, that's peace of mind for you."

"It's easy to worry about. Now I'm even more scared. Didn't you see that monk with a scarlet head this time? I practice meditation and practice Buddhism every day, talk about scriptures, and even my ancestors and wives are worried. He will see through the world of mortals. .”

"Isn't it? Could it be because of Miss Lin?"

"He never talked about it, but after he went back, he burned Miss Lin's previous poems. After that, he never mentioned Miss Lin in front of others. It's just that there were two times in his dream. Call Miss Lin's name."

"Hey, this is how good luck tricks people. We all thought that he would form a happy relationship with Miss Lin at first, but who knew that he would end up with Tana in the end. It was an ending that could never have been imagined."

"The scariest thing is this time. The ancestor asked him whether he was going to Bukui or Beihai. Unexpectedly, he would not stay in these two places. He immediately said that he wanted to go to the Shuangfeng Temple on Badger Island in North Wendura. .”

"How could this be? That's Tana's home."

"The strangest thing is that he told me not to follow him, but he actually said yes, yes..."

Xiren blushed, embarrassed to continue.

"What did Second Master Bao say?"

"He actually asked, if I have someone I like, who wants to betroth me to someone else, isn't that absurd again?"

Hearing what Xiren said, Ping'er couldn't help feeling cold.An unknown feeling suddenly rose.

Just as he was about to say something, he asked Baoyu to come over.

Baoyu just came out of the water and sat down in front of Ping'er and Xiren with bare feet.

"Xi Ren, the water is very cool, you go play for a while, I will talk to Ping'er."

The attacker hesitated for a moment, then got up and left.

"Second Master Bao, do you have something to say? How are you living here?"

"Ping'er has a heart, food and lodging are good. In fact, there is nothing good or bad at all. A bed, a sack of food, and a pair of stinky skins. If you don't bring it with you, you won't take it with you when you die."

"Second Master Bao..."

Ping'er didn't know what to say.

"Where is fourth brother Min now?"

"I went to France and haven't come back yet."

"Ping'er is lucky to be with the fourth brother Min. The fourth brother Min is a good person, and you now have a good home."

When Baoyu said this, Ping'er was a little moved.

This was the first time he had heard from Baoyu in so many years that Jia Min was a good person.

Glancing at Baoyu secretly, he saw that his expression was solemn and his tone was serious, as if there was no irony.

"Ping'er, we have been acquaintances since we were young. I have one thing to ask you and fourth brother Min."

"Second Master Bao just give orders if you have something to do, don't say please."

"I'm telling you seriously, please, please promise me first."

"As long as it can be done, there is nothing wrong with it."

"It's about raiding people."

"The matter of attacking people? What does Second Master Bao mean?"

"This time, I'm going back to North Wendura with Tana. There is a monastery there, and I don't need Xiren and them to serve me there. Therefore, I will take Xiren and Musk Moon , entrusted to you."

"Second Master Bao, no, how can you not have someone to serve you? Wouldn't it make you suffer too much?"

"Life is bitter, bitter is sweet, sweet is bitter, bitter is sweet. There is no difference between sweet and bitter. There is a monastery there, and it is inconvenient for them to go there."

"You also know that when I was a slave in Wendula, why didn't I suffer? When I arrived at Luoyan Lake, it was already a good time."

"But, Princess Tana and Young Master..."

"You don't have to worry about this. This is what I have agreed with Tana. For the time being, I will leave a few old mothers with me to help take care of the children. After three or two years, I will let them go home."

"This……."

"Tana is a good woman, and I will accompany her in North Wendura from then on. Prosperity and wealth are fleeting, and Tana has never been a person who covets wealth. As for Xiren and the others, they have been serving me, and now I will give them a live."

"Second Master Bao has to think twice."

"I've made up my mind a long time ago, and I've made up my mind. In the future, you and fourth brother Min will help Xiren find a good family and marry her. I have some banknotes here, which can be regarded as dowry for Xiren. She will serve Having served me for so many years, it can be regarded as a master-servant relationship."

With that said, Baoyu took out some banknotes and forced them to Ping'er.

"Second Master Bao, I don't dare to decide on this matter, where is the old ancestor and his wife..."

"You are not in charge of this matter. You just tell Fourth Brother Min what I want. He will make the decision and he will take care of it. Tomorrow, Tana and I will leave for North Wendura. Entrusted to you."

After Baoyu finished speaking, he left and went into the water again.Helping to catch fish with Jia Qiang and others, it seems that these things did not happen.

Ping'er's mind was confused, and he didn't have an idea for a while.At this time, there were too many people talking, and it was hard to say anything.

Fish are caught over there, and the mothers here have already started cooking.In a short while, the food and wine are ready.Everyone set up dinner and wine by the river, drank and enjoyed themselves, and then went back.

After returning, Ping'er found Shen Bingyi, Chen Yejun, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Tanchun and the girls, and told Baoyu's plan.

Everyone went to persuade Baoyu, but Baoyu had made up his mind and would not change his mind.

Xiren and the maidservants had already cried a few times, and tried to persuade them, but of course it didn't work.

At this time, he was far away from the mansion, and Jia Min was not there.Seeing that Baoyu was so determined, he had no choice but to let him go temporarily.

Fortunately, knowing his whereabouts and being with Tana again, I plan to wait until the mansion is notified in the future, or when Jia Min returns.

On the second day, Baoyu and Tana set off with a few old ladies.

Jia Qiang and Jia Yun were worried, and they found five veterans of the Army Corps to escort Baoyu and Tana.

Chen Yejun told He Jialin about this, and He Jialin sent another 30 people to escort Baoyu and Tana back to North Wendula.

The monk with a scarlet head naturally followed suit.

In today's North Wendura Grassland, there is no war, and there is peace and tranquility everywhere.The group arrived at Shuangfeng Temple on Badger Island in Luoyan Lake smoothly.

Jue was overjoyed to see her daughter and Baoyu come back, naturally very happy.

Hearing that Baoyu dismissed the attackers and others, I couldn't help but think more of Baoyu, and I felt happy in my heart.

Jia Qiang and others stayed at Badger Island for one night, and set off on their way home the next day.

Jia Qiang and others were sent away here, and Juoneng's apprentice Chang Jin led the people to work to tend the crops.

Walking ahead, I saw a man chasing after him with a hoe on his back. It turned out that it was Baoyu who came.

"Junior Brother Baoyu, what are you doing here?"

"Senior Brother Chang Jin, from today onwards, I will work in the fields with you. If there is something I don't understand, you have to teach me well."

Chang Jin patted Baoyu on the shoulder and smiled happily.

"Junior Brother Baoyu, I will."
